Patented Sept. 18, 1934 UNITED STATES Facial, PATTER `Jamil) Knapp,Newark, lo d v Application July 21, 1931, serialv No. 552,135l "f i jsolaires. y(or 12s-s4) y' This invention relates to patters and has asitsobject to provide Va facial patter having means for removablysecuring 4thereto a pad of novel construction for the reception ofastringents,

lotions. and antiseptics for application to the face or other parts ofthe body especially after a facial has been received at a beauty parlor.

Another object of my invention is to provide the patter with meansadjustably arranged in the handle thereof, for regulating the vibratorymovement of the patter.

Another object of my invention is to provide an individual pad for usewith a facial patter, which is of a sanitary, hygienic and highlypractical construction, and is so formed as to be readily and frequentlyreplaceable, whereby individual pads for use by various individuals andfor use by the same individual, for thc application of variousastringents and lotions, may be provided for.

A further object of my invention is to provide a facial patter of thecharacter set forth consisting of relatively few parts, the parts beingeasily assembled and readily replaceable, which lends itself admirablyto economical manufacture in large `quantities by the use of simpletools and dies.

These and other advantageous objects, which will later appear, areaccomplished by the simple and practical construction and arrangement ofparts hereinafter described and exhibited in the accompanying drawing,`forming part hereof, and in which:

Figure 1 represents a front elevational view of my improved patter,

Figure 2 represents a side elevational view thereof,

Figure 3 represents a transverse sectional view taken along lines 3--3of Fig. 1,

Figure 4 represents a vertical transverse sectional view of the hollowhandle employed in my improved patter, provided with a ferrule to whicha at spring is secured,

Figure 5 represents a side elevational view of the adjusting rod used inmy patter, and

Figures 6 and 7 represent, respectively, a front and side elevationalview of the pad used in my patter.

As shown in the drawing, my device consists, essentially, of the hollowhandle 1 having secured thereto, at its upper end, a ferrule 2. Aresilient member, preferably in the form of a flat spring 3, is securedat one end in any desired or convenient manner to the ferrule 2, beingpreferably secured in the slotted end 4 of the ferrule 2, the other endof the spring being secured in the enlarged slotted head 5 of the shank6,' whichjhas integrally secured thereto the pad supporting-discl 7,.

Slidably mounted in the hollow handle 1 is 60 an adjusting rod 8, theupper endof which is slotted, at 9, to have sliding engagement with thesides of the flat spring 3. A finger-piece 10 of any convenient shape issecured to the rod 8 in any desired manner, the reduced portion of saidfinger-piece 10 engaging with a slot 11 in the handle Y1 whereby onmanipulation of the finger piece 10, the slotted end 9 of the rod 8 ismoved up and down on the spring 3 to regul late the swinging movement ofthe patter.

While this structure has been found advantageous for the regulation ofthe vibratory movement of the pad support, it is within the scope of myinvention to utilize other structures for the same purpose. For example,instead of providing a hollow handle in which the adjusting rod 8 isslidable, the adjustment could be accomplished by providing anyequivalent means defined by the claims.

A pad 12 adapted to receive liquid astringents, lotions, antiseptics andother liquids, is removably secured to the disc '7 by the bezel 13,which preferably has frictional engagement with the periphery of thedisc 7, but may be secured thereto by a bayonnet-slot or otherarrangement (not shown).

The pad 12 may be made of cloth, sponge, felt, paper or the like by theuse of suitable punches and dies, but I prefer and have used a circularpad made from surgical cotton, preferably oval in cross-section andwhich in the course of manufacture is provided with a circumferentiallyarranged flange 14 formed by compressing the material of the peripheraledge thereof.

This form of pad is especially advantageous in that it lends itselfadmirably for ready removal from the pad supporting disc and in use padsof this type are constantly replaced by similar pads from time to time.

On manipulating the handle 1, the opposite pad end of the patter willvibrate, due to the intermediate spring 3, and by moving the fingerpiece 10 of the rod 8 up. or down in the slot'll of said handle 1, thesplit end 9 of the rod 8 will be selectively moved into engagement witha greater or lesser portion of the length of the spring 3, thusregulating the vibratory movement of the pad end of the patter to suitthe type of skin to be patted.

I have shown and described the preferred emlio bodiment and forms of myinvention, but my invention is to be understood as covering all othervariations in structure Within the scope of the appended claims.

The foregoing disclosure is to be regarded as descriptive andillustrative only, and not as restrictive or limitative of theinvention, of which obviously an embodiment may be constructed includingmany` modifications Without.depa1ting from .the general' fscope hereinindicated, and denoted in the appended claims.`

Having thus described my invention, rwhat claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters` Patent, is:

1. A patter comprising a handle, a pad :sup= port, a spring connectingthe supportwith the handle, and a member' slidably conneictedwith saidhandle and adapted to;'engageiwithrsaid' spring for regulating thevibratory movementl of the pad support.

2. In a patter, a. hollow yharidlehaving alongivtudinal slot, aspring'vs'ecurezd saidfhandlefa bar slidably arranged in said handle andadapted to engage with said spring to ,regulate vthe Vvibra/- torymovementv thereof, and' a finger-piece `on vsaid bar movable infthes'lotof Saidhandle; I,

3. In a patter, a disc, a support for the disc, a circular pad having abody portion of liquid absorbent material, said pad having acircumferential ange of the same material as the body portion, saidflange being substantially rigid and compact relative to the bodyportion, and means to t over said flange to detachably secure the pad tothe disc.
